Greek Sandwich



I love, love, love salads and here is my favorite salad post, Simply My Favorite Greek Salad.  I decided I would take some of the ingredients from my salad and make a sandwich out of them. Sometimes it's easier to eat a sandwich than a salad. This is a great little sandwich (bring napkins, it can be a little messy) for your lunch bag or a light evening meal when you are low on time or energy. I realized after I took my first picture that it may be more helpful for you to see the inside of the sandwich. I always have to take my crust off my bread but I realized it doesn't make the picture look great, so half of the sandwich still has the crust intact for you crust lovers! I don't like meat in my sandwich but my husband likes sliced chicken in his sandwich. All of the ingredients listed are my favorites, so mix and match or add your own!
Ingredients:
2 slices of your favorite bread
romaine lettuce
kalamata olives
purple onions
sliced pepper rings
feta cheese
shredded parmesan cheese
artichoke hearts (pickled and sliced)
carrot peels (because I don't like big pieces of carrots in my sandwich)
sliced cucumbers (optional)
hummus (optional)
Caesar dressing (optional)
Directions:
You can start by spreading your Caesar dressing or homemade hummus, Simple Homemade Hummus, on your bread. Arrange your ingredients on the bread in any order, I usually start with the lettuce. Sometimes I don't use dressing or hummus but spritz some olive oil and balsamic vinegar on my sandwich. I usually do that after it's all put together. You might have to experiment a little!
Enjoy your delicious sandwich!
 
Love and peace,

Grandma's Bread Pudding and Caramel Sauce

I was trying to think of something for dessert last night and homemade bread pudding was my choice. Our Dad was not a dessert lover but bread pudding was one of his favorites. Our grandma made the best bread pudding, hope you like it! Ingredients : 5 cups slightly dried out bread, any kind. I used Italian bread.  1/4 cup raisins (optional) 2 cups milk 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1 T vanilla 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp cinnamon Caramel Sauce Ingredients 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 tsp vanilla Directions : Cut the bread in cubes. I cut some of the crust off (on about half of the bread). Place bread into a greased casserole dish or an 11x9 inch pan. Add raisins.  Microwave milk and butter about 4 minutes on 60% power or heat in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Slowly add the mixture to the egg and milk an...

Homemade Goulash

Last weekend I made meals for the freezer. It takes a few hours but this will save you time during the week (in case you have nights like I do when you don't feel like cooking) and your family will love it! I adapted this recipe from Paula Deen (it's called Bobby's Goulash). I used organic ingredients but use the products of your choice. I would have liked to use fresh tomatoes from the garden but my tomatoes weren't quite ready. You can also make it gluten-free by using gluten-free elbow macaroni. It's so tasty - my family loved it! Ingredients : 1 pound ground turkey 1 pound lean ground beef 1 -2 small onions, diced ( I used red onions) 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce 2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice 3 cups water 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 T Italian seasoning 3 bay leaves 3 T soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce 1 T seasoning salt course ground pepper to taste 2 cups elbow macaroni (uncooked) Putting it together: Brown meat and onions in a lar...

Homemade Liquid Dishwasher Soap

I decided a couple of weeks ago that I was going to start my mission to find a homemade liquid dishwasher soap. I really do prefer liquid soap over powdered soaps. Since I love the Simply Liquid Laundry Detergent (also on our Most Popular Posts) so much I knew there had to be a liquid dishwasher soap that we could make and that works. I found a recipe on http://choosingsimplicity.blogspot.com .and tried it. I read the reviews and as it happens with everything, some people had issues and some people loved it. It seems that part of the problem with homemade dishwasher soap is water type...do you have soft water, hard water, well-water....you know what I mean? And then there is the whole what to put in the rinse aid container? Lemon juice, vinegar, inexpensive rinse aid, expensive rinse aid...? SO what I'm trying to say is that there doesn't seem to be a perfect dishwasher soap. But I wanted to save money and I wanted a liquid soap, so I tried it anyway. I figured it would be ...
